Nickel sulfide-incorporated sulfur-doped graphitic carbon nitride nanohybrid interface for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing of glucose.

ABSTRACT: A nickel sulfide-incorporated sulfur-doped graphitic carbon nitride (NiS/S-g-C₃N₄) nanohybrid was utilized as an interface material for the non-enzymatic sensing of glucose in an alkaline medium (0.1 M NaOH). The precursors used in the preparation of NiS/S-g-C₃N₄ hybrid were thiourea and nickel nitrate hexahydrate as the sulfur and nickel sources, respectively. The HRTEM results reveal that NiS nanoparticles incorporated on the S-g-C₃N₄ nanosheet surface could enhance the electrocatalytic activity and electrical conductivity. The prepared NiS/S-g-C₃N₄ crystalline nature, surface functionalities, graphitic nature, thermal stability and surface composition were investigated using XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectro
